Committee forwards Hello Mart off‑sale beer and wine license to full board

The committee directed the clerk to prepare a resolution concluding that issuance of a Type 20 off‑sale beer and wine license to HJMW Enterprise LLC (Hello Mart) at 2135 Buchanan Street, District 2, would serve the public convenience or necessity and to forward that resolution to the full Board of Supervisors.

Officer Erickson presented the ABC PCN report showing zero letters of protest or support, a location in Plot 531 (classified as a low‑crime area), and ALU’s recommendation for two conditions—active monitoring to prevent loitering and maintaining adjacent areas free of litter. Chair Dorsey noted the applicant’s neighborhood‑market role in Pacific Heights and support from District 2 Supervisor Steven Sherrill. No public comment was offered; the committee vote to forward the report passed with two ayes.
